The Sandbar never disappoints.....get the stuffed shrimp!! Beautifully decorated on a gorgeous beach with a phenomenal sunset view!!! You can't go wrong, the Sandbar is an absolute must-do on Anna Maria!

If you're looking for a restaurant on the beach this couldn't get any closer as a row of table are set in the sand. Sunset views over the gulf are stunning. They play a fun game of 'guess the time of sunset'. Service from CJ was great. Food very tasty if a little on the small portion.

We visited on 16th Nov around 430pm and was offered a table on the beach or on the decking, we selected the decking, as it was a very hot day and needed...

I went to the sandbar twice over the course of three days with my boyfriend. The first time, we sat in the bar area to watch a football game. The second time we sat outside on the table planted in the sand. The food was very good although there are variations among dishes. The oysters coconut shrimp were excellent. The...
